Manufacturing Political Capital.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Feb 19.-To those who are
used to daily looking down from the galleries on
the floor of the House the correspondence which
has for fortnight been going on between
Messrs. Randall, McAdoo and Warner on the
one side, and Speaker Carlisle, Mr.. Morrison and
Mr.. Mills on the other has been amusing. Nor
rison. Randall, Weaver and McAdoo occupy
seats on the floor of the House all within ten
feet of each other A large horse blanket could
at almost any time be thrown over the whole
crowd, and twenty times a day they are seen
talking one to the other. Yet they have been
engaged in q formal correspondence the sub
iect of tariff and the internal revenue just as
though they were located hundreds of miles
apart. This correspondence prepared by these
men who are seated in SO small space on the
floor of the House was for the country, however,
aud not to adjust any difference between them.
The talks they had hourly while this correspond
ence was being prepared could not be reported
TO the country, and could in no way explain why
there was no legislation on the subjects in oues-
four letters was written, the Speaker and Mr..
Randall, who represented the ultra sides, were
seen in long consultation the floor Of the
House-probabiy fixing up the fine points at is
sue. These mon usually do not spend much
time in consultation over political, legislative or
social matters; but when the party is attacked.
as in this instance, they come together. Each
acknowledges the others eminent ability, but
there are so many dividing lines in their poll
cies that, as general thing, one would about as
soon consult Republican as the other.

MRS. JOHN A. LOGAN.
Something New About Famous and Much
Taiked-of Woman.

Something New About Famous and Much
Taiked-of Woman.
Special to tho INDIANAPOLIS Journal
NEW YORK, Feb 19.-The great woman heart
OF the country is beating this week in unison
with that of the widowed Mrs. John A. Logan
The memorial services at the Senate brought
out multitude of ladies' all anxious to testify,
by this act of respect. to their admiration for
one who may certainly be classed among the
group OF interesting widows of our generation.
Victoria, Eugene. the Queen of Spain, poor
Carlotta, Mrs. Garfield are all personages who
command at once our Difference and our sympa-
thy; and Mrs. Logan belongs to the same cate
CORY of respected relicts of prominent men. The
illustrated papers have made the features of this
admirable woman familiar to the public. but
there exists with her subtle charm of physiog-
nomy which no Photographic portraiture can
show forth. There is fascinating curve about
the tiny mouth and brilliant fash in the high
ly intelligent eye which would tax the ingenuity
OF Miais himself to reproduce on canvas The
snow-white hair, of which many fiattering
things have been said and which is worn high
uplifted over still youthful face. was like that
of Marie Antoinette, an endowment of grief.
When she was but just past thirty her father
died, leaving motherless family of five young
children. The infant orphans were left, with
| out fortune, at some remote station on tn6
| frontier. Immediate succor was Imperative The
moment was when close vote on an impor-
| tant question rendered Senator Logans presence
| in Washington an absolute necessity. So, alone
at bitter season, Mrs Logan journeyed across
| the country to help the little brood of young
| lings When she babe adieu to her husband her
| raven hair fell in silken ringlets to her waist;
| when she returned to him, three weeks later, her
| locks were white as they are to-day. The
anxiety and sorrow of the trip, which included
| the interment of her sole remaining parent and
| the assumption Of the duties of motherhood to
FIVE children, had eliminated in that tangible
evidence of brain disturbance, the rapid banch-
ing of the hair. Mrs. Logan is row only forty
| eight years old. She was thirteen years the
junior of her husband.
Those who love this noble woman-and that
| means all who ever knew her-are earnestly
| hoping that the movements on foot to secure her
| financial tranquility may be amply successful.
| The old manse on the hill which she inhabits is
| a fitting habitation for the widow of one of the
| most celebrated Of the country's departed he
roes. She should be LETT to occupy it in peace
and comfort. Detached from the main body oil
the house is long corridor, now unused, il
| which Mrs. Logan intends to gather all the hal
| lowed relics which belonged or appertain to he1
| husband. She will call it memorial hall If she
| should perchance contemplate the occasional ad
| mission of the public, doubt the privilege
| would be as highly valued as Is now that of Wis
iting Mount Vernon. OLIVE LOGAN.

The Interstato Express Law.

Special to the Indiat aDols Journal
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1--we are going to
make war on the express monopolies," said a
Southwestern member, this morning, land if
90 not mistake we will take them down peg or
two next session. The express companies are
working quite many hardships in many parts
Of the country as the railroads used to, and
there is as great q demand for relief in this d.
recton as through the interstate-commercel law.
There is too, as much use folsan interstate ex-
press law as one to regulate the telegraph. It
is proposed to reach the express companies
either by law regulating them one making
the mails sharp competitor. Now the rates
for merchandise in the mails are too high and
the maximum weight is too low. We want the
weight raised to at least eight pounds and the
charges brought down to one-half the present
rates; then the mails will force the express COM
panies to more uniform and lower tariffs Now
1t is almost impossible to transmit money or
other small and valuable packages by express
where there is no competition, as the tariff is
too steep This thing of doing fruit business
by means OF the express is out Of the question in
many portions of the country. Whenever we
take down the limit of weight for small packages
In the mails and cut in twain the postage on
them we take from the express companies a
large share of their business, and in fighting to
get it back the tariffs for other matter must
come down. By that means accomplish our
end By indirection; but personally am in favor
of law TO regulate express rates. just like the
interstate-comm cree law is intended to regulate
railroad rates 1t will be easy to accomplish this
now. as the extra duty can be imposed on the
Interstate commerce Commission"

DISTRICT ASSEMBLY 40.

The Men Who Control and Manage 1t, and
the Methods They Pursue.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
NEW YORK. Feb 19-The medieval German
Vehmgericht, the Carbonari Of Italy, the Mill
lists of Russia, have their counterpart in this
country in district assembly No. 40. It is true
that the methods pursued are different, but the
result in many respects, is the same. There are
no hole and corner meetings, masked consprators
or awful penalties. yet the organization is most
powerful Little is known about it, even
among those who are forced to obey its man
dates -
Originally it was, ayit still is, subordinate
branch of the Knights of Labor. But within a
year, owing to the manipulation OF small CO.
terie of men, it has showed its ability to control
its parent body and to develop into secret or
ganization of character that had been thought
TO be incapable of existence on American soil. 1t
is doubtful if, even in the oftquotad councils of
the Nihilists, absolutsm and secrecy prevail to
greater extent than in this body, originally es-
tablshed for the benefit and protection Of Amerl-
can workingmen.
Within the past year it has, through its lead
ers, gained control of the organization OF the
Knights Of Labor, it has forced Master Work
man Powderly into a position that has been de-
structive of his influence and prestige: it has
| changed the laws of the order to suit its own
| end, upset politics and politicians in New York
city by compelling, under penalty of ostracism,
the rank and file of the Knights of Labor in New
| York city to give support to the Henry George
| political crusade. 1t has played by no means
| silent part in the quarrel between DR.. McGlynn
| and Archbishop Corrgan, and recently conduct
| ed strike in which from 20, 900 to 30. 600 work
mon along our water front have been engaged,
| and which has already cost in one way and an
| other, from 81, 000. 900 to $40, 900, 600.

New YORK, Sept.1 habitues of

week have looked in vain for the trim
figure, smiling face and pretty blonde
hair Ghat did not come Off of Miss
Douglas, who, for month and a. half
has been the attractive feature of the
chorus in ''The Bellman." Less than
two months ago Col. McCaul was called
upon by charming young lady who
sent up her name as Miss Douglas. She
told the colonel tale of woe which
warmed his Southern blood. He con-
chorus. About three years ago Miss
Mary Thompson, the belle of Memphis,
Tenn, and granddaughter of the late
Jacob Thompson, who was secretary of
the interior during President Buch-
canan'S administration, and afterward
minister to England of the Confederate
states, was married to young Stonewall
Montgomery, son of II. o. Montgomery,
of considerable society and political
prominence. 1t was grand wedding.
The young couple lived in great style,
and were the acknowledged leaders of
society in Memphis. Soon, however,
rumors began to circulate to the effect
that young Montgomery was not only
wild, but ill-treated his charming and
accomplished wife. Mrs. Montgomery
about two months ago disappeared from
Memphis without leaving trace of her
whereabouts except to few intimate
friends to whom she confded her sad
sacret, and who, in turn, provided her
with letters to many prominent people,
Col. McCaul among them. AS may be
surmised, Miss Douglas and Mrs. Mont
gomery are one. The young woman's
mother some weeks since arrived here
and pleaded with her daughter to re-
turn to her Southern home, but without
avail. Her visit was supplemented by
one from the young woman's husband.
He came, however, with far different
purpose in view, as shown by the re-
cord of the supreme court of this city
and county, wherein through his attor-
neys, Blair and Rudd. he commenced
divorce proceedings without, however,
filing a bill of complaint. Mrs. Mont
gOmery, much to her husbands sur
prise, it is sJaIe,., proceeded to defend
the case, and engaged l.. A. Atchison
to look out for her interests. This ac-
